Openmoko shows versatility of FreeRunner Free and Open Source phone

At the Lunch@Piero's press event during CES, Openmoko Inc, maker of the world's first totally open mobile phone, demonstrated applications, highlighted over 50 distributors and showcased distributions that run on the FreeRunner mobile phone. William Lai shares an astronomy application that lets users cruise the stars in the palm of their hand.
Openmoko gives developers a choice of ever-popular Debian, community-driven FDOM, QT by Trolltech (recently acquired by Nokia) and Android operating systems for their mobile applications, proving that the FreeRunner is the hardware of choice for developers focused on building and maintaining distributions. Since successful launch of the Openmoko FreeRunner July 2008, the company has seen expanding hardware deployment in medical, industrial and military markets. Over the past six months, FreeRunners have been sold to over 40 universities and the company has engaged in ongoing projects with the Taiwan Ministry of Education.
